This is the reality about game deving with AI. AI cant build an entire game with one promp. It requires a lot of work, iterations, testing, level design, etc... we need more posts like this.
AI can now build 50% of a game in one prompt.
That’s exactly why most AI games suck.
This creator can’t code. But this isn’t a one-prompt demo.
They kept iterating on the art direction, animations, gameplay, and feel.
AI removed the coding barrier.
It didn’t remove game design, playtesting, or taste.
The last 50% is the actual game.

I am thinking to get a pro subscription to try Opus 5.5. Heard the model was nerfed yesterday. Am I late to join the party?

Can anyone test Opus if it can create 2D rigged characters with morphs/blendshapes, walkcycles, etc... i tried with Astra ultra but didnt work (i feed it video animation references etc...). I am curious to see if Opus can do that.

“Local models are useless” depends entirely on the task. I run Minimax H3 locally for video generation, and the results can be insane.

The anti-AI crowd is absolutely losing it over Notch simply saying vibe coding is cool 😂
He built Minecraft. He knows what game development is. If he’s experimenting with new tools and enjoying them, maybe stop screaming “not a real dev” and start paying attention.
In my defense, vibe coding lets you make your own engine.
I like games with custom engines because they can push the medium. Not every game needs to use a new engine, but I'd hate for us to never have another Teardown or another Factorio.

The anti-AI playbook on X:
1- Find an indie dev using AI.
2- Call their game “slop.”
3- Harass them until they give up.
4- Send a commission invoice.

Normalize calling anti-AI artists bullies.
Normalize calling anti-AI artists gatekeepers.
Normalize calling anti-AI artists hypocrites.
Normalize calling anti-AI artists opportunists.
Normalize calling anti-AI artists grifters.
Normalize calling anti-AI artists harassers.
Normalize calling anti-AI artists entitled.
Normalize calling anti-AI artists abusive.
Normalize calling anti-AI artists vindictive.
You can politely explain why you used AI, and some will curse at you or even wish you dead. That’s not criticism. That’s harassment. Nobody owes you a commission.
Normalize calling AI artists thieves
Normalize calling AI content theft
Normalize calling AI music theft
Normalize calling AI films theft
Normalize calling AI photography theft
Normalize calling AI design theft
Normalize calling AI apps theft
Normalize calling AI writing theft

Say what you want about it, but @IndieGameJoe is the best thing that have ever happened to the indie games industry.

Using a viral AI post to advertise your commissions while telling everyone to boycott AI is a level of hypocrisy I wasn’t ready for.
Man that's crazy
Anyways my lazy ass has been meaning to update my ref sheet but if you want an art piece of anything you want, lemme know, cheap as fuck for pretty good quality if you ask me
ALT Did I take this moment to promo my shit? Yes. To prove a point.

Those hand-drawn animations are gorgeous. The movement, the expressions, that whole 1930s cartoon look, t has serious Cuphead energy, and I mean that as a huge compliment. 🔥
More games with this much personality, please.
Every frame of this game is hand-drawn like a 1930s cartoon
- Learn each boss pattern and beat it
- Every boss has its own story and level
- Unlock new powers as you go
Game is Moylo

Anti-AI artists are holding indie devs hostage.
I know indie devs who struggle to pay for their games but hire artists anyway. They’re afraid that using AI for even part of the workflow will bring a mob down on their launch before anyone gets to play it.
Think about that: a developer has bills to pay too. They may spend years building a game, then feel pressured to buy commissions they can’t afford just to avoid being called “AI slop.”
Artists deserve to be paid for work they’re hired to do. Indie devs also deserve to choose how they make their games. Judge the finished game. If it’s lazy, say so. If it’s good, let it stand on its own.
And if you want to challenge companies with the money to hire entire art teams, take that argument to Capcom and Nintendo. Leave struggling indie devs alone.
This hostage situation, cancel culture, and nonsense need to stop.
Anti-AI artists, hear me out: you can’t lose a commission that was never going to exist.
Most people you’re attacking couldn’t afford to hire you in the first place. AI gave them a way to make something anyway.
You’re allowed to hate the tool. But sending the VTuber army after someone with an empty wallet won’t get you paid.

Anti AI artists say they have bills to pay. So do indie devs.
An indie dev can spend years building a game, barely afford rent, and use AI to make the work possible. Then someone with “COMMISSIONS OPEN” in their bio tells everyone to boycott it because the dev didn’t hire them.
You can criticize AI. But pretending indie devs are rich and owe you a commission isn’t solidarity.
